the moral sense of entire communities is
so shocked, so outraged, by the enorm-
ity of crime that men become impatient
of the slow processes of law, and indigna-
ton usurps the fealty to law and
some demonized culprit is hanged or other

of affairs quite different. Organizations,
known by secret signs, go about the coun-
try at night and scourge those who are in
any wise iaimical to them, drive them out
of the country, exile them, and that, too,
for offenses which, If known to the law, are
punished in a way entirely different
from that which the white Caps
have devised. Msnifestly, such a con-
dition of affairs can not long
exist without producing total demoralizs-
ton, reign of terror, If indeed such an
unenviable situation has not already been
reached. The difference between being
taken out and whipped until the flesh is
lacerated and the blood flows freely, and
being killed, is not worth discussing-of
the two we would much prefer being killed
by bomb, and by all the gods known to
heather and savage, that is just what the
White Caps would be required 10 do in
numerous cases that ii would not be diff

proportions, and until the press of In

in other States can with eminent prudence
be dismissed.

PLEASANT stories are told of Edith King
don, now Mrs. George Gould. She was
poor girl, and by her own unaided efforts
rose from q subordinate position in Bos-
ton theater to commanding place on the
New York stage, and it was her cIeverness
that attracted Mr.. George Gould, the son
of Jay, the millionaire-the man of many
railroads and bushels of stocks. From q
cheap boarding house in Boston she became
the mistress of New York pslatial
residence. She had great merit as an
actress, butt required, after all. something
besides merit to win a contract from Mr..
Daily, the great New York manager. The
New Yorker being In Boston, Miss King
don asked for an i1cerview, and the boon
was granted. She read the note granting
the audience and went straight to the
Adams House, hired q suite of rooms,
decorated them with bric-a.brac borrowed
from willing friends, donned tea gown
that good Rachel Noah pressed upon her,
and then sent for Mr.. Daily. He came,
and before he left Miss Kingdom had her
contract. Just how she managed to catch

Forest Tree Seeds.

Many of those who attempt to raise
forest trees from the seed meet with dis
appointment, from not preserving the
seeds properly, or from not knowing thar
some trees r1pen their seeds in spring or
early summer. and that these must be
sown as soon as ripe. Success in raising
foresttrees from seeds depends upon having
the seeds properly preserved during the
winter. They must not be allowed to get
too dry, nor must the moisture and
temperature be such that termination will
be commenced before they are sown, nor
should they be exposed to such low
temperature that the vitality of the
embryo will be impaired. When in doubt
how to best preserve a tree seed, mix ii
with about twice its bulk OF damp sand
not wet sand, but good sharp sand, just as
it is dug out of a bank. The seed thus
mixed with sand should be placed whers it
will be at an even temperature OF a few
other vermIn may not get at it. Nuts of
the hard.shellsd kind, especially, should
not be allowed to get dry; the hickoriee,
walnut snd butternuts should be placed in
heaps of few bushels, and carefully
covered with sods from an old pasture. and
the turf covered with several inches of
earth. II turf is not readily procured,
cover the hesp with straw, aud place on
this several inches of soil. These heaps
must be in a dry place, where water will
not accumulate, and in one where vermiu
will not disturb them. Chestnuts, which

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT:

In government of the people 1t is the
ballot that declares war; hence 1t will be
observed, that there is an intimate rela-
tionship between the ballot and bsyonet, the
ballot box and the cartridge box. II women
were to have the ballot they might be able
30 to shape policies, measures and events, 30
as to bring on war. Having brought about
war, what could women do to defend their
country, their homes and their children?
When the clarion of war sounded and the
bugle called TO arms, because of woman
suffrage, would the women form them
selves into companies, regiments, brigsdes
and army corps, and march away to the
music Of fife and drum to defend their
country against domestic or foreign enc

what it Costs to Raise a Boy.
Buffalo Express.

My father never did anything for me-"
recently remarked q young man, who
few weeks ago had finished his school life,
and is now seeking a good business open
ing. Judging by the words and the COM
planning tone in which they were uttered,
the member of the firm who heard them is
prone to believe that the young mans idea
of doing something is an outright gift of
thousand dollars in lump, or the pur-
chase of a partnership in an established
concern. This young man, to the knowl-
edge of the writer, has never done one
months actual work for others in his en-
tire life. His life has been
passed in the pleasant pastimes of
the home circle, In reading, study, hunt
ing, fishing, ball-playing, yachting, and
other employments not particularly bene-
fetal to others. Heis the type of that class
OF boys whose parents are sufficiently we'll
TODD to keep servants to attend to the
household drudgery, and whose fathers
follow avocations in which no use can be
made OF the boys spare hours. Like most
boys OF his class, he looks upon his board
and clothes for twenty years, together with
his pony, jewelry, bicycle, etc, as mat
tiers Of course. The writer, while the COM
planning remark was still ringing in his
cara, had the curiosity to make q conserva-
tive compilation of what Ii costs TO raise an
ordinary boy for the first twenty years of
his life, and here il is:
Slo0 per year for the first five years..........3 500
$50 per year for the second five years.. $50
$500 per year for the third five years....... 1000
$500 Per year for the next three years ...-.. 900
500 per year tor the next two years....... 900

Yes, this is q moderate estimate of the
financial balances against the boy who
complains that his father has never done
anything for him.

Bird Helpers,

Mrs. Mary Treat, the well-known ento-
mologist, writes in the American Agricult-
uIist for October, predatory to her enlarged
volume on Injurious Insects of the Farm
ard Garden:
1 wish to add my testimony in a few
words, by way of preface, in favor of the
various birds that visit our gardens and or
chards, in the capacity OF helpers, as they
feed upon some of the most noxious insects
which we have to contend with.
First and foremost among these helpers
is the purple martin. II is the general inn
preston that this bird takes insects only
on the wing, but 1t does more than this. /
saw numbers OF them this past summer
taking the rose-bugs from the grapevines.
They swooped down and picked them of
without elightiDg. They circled around in
companies back again TO the same vine,
each one snatching of bug as 1t passed.
And not only the rose-bug falls victim to
its appetite, but it even stoops to take the
Colorado potato-beetle. This has been seen
by others In our town, as well IS by my
self. Put up boxes for the martins, and
see that the English sparrow does not get
possession.
The oriole is another great helper. 1t
knows how 10 pull the bsg-worm from its
case. and does IL systematically and rapid
ly. The tent-caterpillar and fall web-worm
it also has liking for: it ruthlessly tears
the tents and webs to pieces and destroys
untold numbers. Allow no gunner to
shoot one of these beautiful. gaily dressed
birds on your premises-not even II the

year our elms are comparatively free from
the pests. They hunt over the trees in
small aocks. They also destroy many
other injurious creatures. This bird likes
cherries. Raise enough for them as well
as for yourselves, and they will pay you
back with interest.
The catbird and red-eyed vireo both eat
the unsavory pear-slug. But it is not nee
essary to mention the good services rem
dered by our more common birds, such as
the robin, brown thrush, catbird, blUebird
and wren, as all observing horticultIrists
are aware of the good they do. Our winter
birds are also doing good work. The seed
eating ones pick up great quantities of the
seeds of noxious weeds, while our wood
peckers, jays and chickadees are constantly
on the lookout for alternating insects
Spare and encourage the birds, both winter
and summer, about your home grounds
and fields.

command that "they have to-day more

bloody signifcsnce-aRd have created a
sensation. Europe is always on the "eve

in Europe is specially concerned about
keeping this murderous machine in per-
feet order for quick and decisive work. 1t

the strength of the standing armies of
European nations on peace and war
footing. The figures are given as follows:

Raise Better Horses.
American Agriculturalist.


Fashion has brought about many
changes in horse breeding among Ameri-
can farmers, and no race has set the style
more forcibly or to larger purpose than the
American trotting horse. The American
trotter is horse capable Of every service
there is, in almost literal truth, no limit
to the speed in which he can trot one mile,
and his capacity of endurance, whereof
such contests are most exacting proof is
accepted as fact in the minds of all OBJ
servant men, while his patient temper,
and good size, combined with the extra.
ordinary muscularity with which true
systems of breeding have endowed him
render him an exceedingly valuable aui-
nal for any work of labor and routine.
The farmer who is looking forward to ina
provement in in his stock, must be careful
in making selection of his breeding AMI
mails, and, herein, it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the sire chosen be an avail
able, valuable, and in every respect, q
choice animal, possessing individuality
and ancestrally the best qualities which
the offspring is desired to possess.

A correspondent desires information re-
garding the destruction of the first blossoms
on tomato vines, and wishes to know if it
will improve the yield. The tomato is a
plsnt that contains blossoms, green fruit
and ripe fruit at the same time, and con-
tinues to blossom until frost. 1t is not ad-
visable to pull off the early blossoms, but
the vines may be pruned of surplus branch
es and staked to prevent falling on the
ground. The earliest fruit is when the
plants grow on warm soil that is not too
rich. Liberal manuring conduces to
growth of vine Pinching off the extra
blossoms and shoots will cause larger fruit,
but will not increase the yield in number.

Clover as n Honey Plant
Perry County (Mo.) Sun.


The white clover that grows and blooms
naturally all over the country hereabout
furnishes a fine pasture for honey bees. 1t
is one of the best honey producing plants
we have. Combs built while the bees are
gathering honey from white clover is of q
clear, creamy yellow. The honey also has
ayellow tinge, and is very rich and sweet
Red clover also furnishes a great deal of
honey, but the petals are so long that the
honey bee cannot reach ii; however, the
Italians sometimes gather honey from the
second coop, as the blooms are smaller and
petals shorter than those OF the first. The
red clover furnishes a fine pasture for
bum ble-bees.
The Alsike is cross between the white
and the red clover, and while it furnishes
fully as much honey as the red the petals
are so short that the bees find no difficulty
in reaching it. If you imagine large
head of white clover with the extremities
of the petal tipped with pink you will
have a very good idea of the Alsike. It is
a beautiful sight to see field of Alsike in
full bloom and the busy Italians from
thirty hives working on it; and there is
also handsome profit in it when a man
can extract from ten to fifteen gallons of
honey per day and really find sale for it
at $1.40 per gallon.
We have seeded five acres of our land IN
Alsike, and are now busy sowing American
silver hull buckwheat. We intend to
make chicken and bee pasture of our
forty-acre farm.

1t is important to distinguish in plants
the difference between what may be
termed the vegetative and reproductive
stages In plants, says Mr.. Thomas Meehan.
Ii q branch on an unfruitful tree be
''ringed," or In some other way injured,
that branch is at once brought to the fruit
bearing or reproductive condition. So far
there is an antagonism between the vegeta.
tive and reproductive stages. When the
reproductive stage is reached there is an
other subdivision. The part to which nu-
triton most freely flows produces chiefly
female flowers, while the part to which nu-
triton flows less freely yields chiefly male
flowers. Any one can see this who exam
ines larch, spruce or pine.
A successful turkey raiser gives us the
following most excellent plan for raising
turkeys: In the first place give two grains
OF black pepper when first taken of the
nest then feed them on custard made of
eggs and milk (no sugar. until about two
weeks old. After this give them egg corn
bread soaked in milk, alternated with
scalded clabber, pouring off the whey.
They will soon learn to pick up grains Of
wheat. put ashes in the pen for them to
dust in, and it is amusing to see them
throw the ashes all over their bodies while
they are awaiting for the dew to 60 off the
grass so they can start on foragiug expe-
dition. l also furnish them lime 10 pick,
and plenty of fresh water and milk to
drink.
